Ever fancied watching Ronaldo versus Messi at the Bernabau, rubbing shoulders with football's elite at the Ballond'Or ceremony in Zurich or sitting down to lunch with Andre Villas-Boas? This and more await the highest bidders in Sir Bobby Robson's annough Breakthrough charity auction.

Sir Bobby's son Mark Robson paid tribute to the organisations who donated this year's auction items, including Fifa, who stumped up the rare access to football's most glamorous eventing.

Jack Wilshere has come in for more criticism regarding his view that only English people should play for England.

Yunus Lunat, chairman of the Football Association's race equality advisory group, says the England midfielder's comments were 'unhelpful and misguided' and believes the Arsenal star needs to clarify his views on the issue.

'Misguided and unhelpful': Jack Wilshere's recent comments have been criticised by Yunus Lunat, chairmain of the FA's race equality advisory

I've just crossed the border ahead of a match that could very well have a decisive bearing on Chris Coleman's future as Wales' boss.

Having seen every single qualifying match so far, I have to say there is merit in his claims that he has yet to field a consistent team.

Coleman took over in horrible circumstances following the death of Gary Speed and took time to find his feet in a difficult and unforgiving arena.

There is no question he has been hamstrung by injuries and there have been occasions - such as at home to Croatia and away in Macedonia where Wales have been hard done by.

However, they were fortunate to beat Scotland in Cardiff and the country's inability to even drag out draws in the above games has ended with Coleman looking upwards from the bottom of a difficult group.

With 15 players missing tonight, he has his work cut-out. However, if Belgium still need a point to qualify for Brazil on Tuesday it could get messy in Brussels.

My hope - because Coleman loves this job and is as up front and honest as they come - is that he absolutely goes for it in Cardiff tonight.

If you are going to get the push - you might as well go out having a bloody good go at it. If his team is applauded from the field tonight it might be enough for him to stay in situ, regardless of the result.

Joe Ridge reports: When Peterborough signed Britt Assombalonga from Watford for a club record £1.5million in the summer it looked like an uncharacteristic gamble from a club usually known for their financial prudence.

Why would a League One club pay a seven-figure sum for a young striker whose best achievement to date had been to score 15 goals in League Two during a season-long loan at Southend?

Million pound man: Assombalonga cost Peterborough a club record transfer fee in the summer

Italy manager Cesare Prandelli has said that going to the World Cup without controversial striker Mario Balotelli would be unthinkable.

'Is it possible to go to the World Cup without him? Absolutely not,' Prandelli told Rai Sport ahead of Friday’s Group B qualifier against Denmark.

Balotelli was selected for the squad after serving a three-match suspension for an aggressive outburst at the end of AC Milan’s 2-1 defeat by Napoli last month, breaking Prandelli’s player code of ethics.

Ireland caretaker boss is currently contemplating whether to risk captain Robbie Keane tonight The LA Galaxy striker has an ankle injury He came through a fitness test this morning and should be ready to face Germany in Cologne

Striker: Ireland's interim coach Noel King and Robbie Keane during a training session

Laurie Whitwell: Twenty years ago this month England entered a make-or-break World Cup qualifying match with Holland in Rotterdam. What happened next has gone down in national folklore and is still remembered vividly by the protagonists today.

England lost 2-0 and were out of USA 94 but bitter accusations of cheating and blunders remain.

The flashpoint came in the 57th minute. As David Platt raced on to a long pass he was pulled down by Ronald Koeman on the edge of the area.

Leeds are among a number of Championship clubs interested in signing highly-rated Manchester United striker Will Keane on loan.

Elland Road boss Brian McDermott was at Carrington on Thursday afternoon to see Keane score in United’s 3-1 defeat to Birmingham in a friendly behind closed doors.Derby, Nottingham Forest and Blackburn are among the other clubs looking at Keane and midfielder Larnell Cole who was also in action.

Riath Al-Samarrai reports: Cardiff City will hold a board meeting on Monday as they attempt to plot a path out of the chaos caused by the decision to remove Malky Mackay’s right-hand man.

Sportsmail understands CEO Simon Lim will be at the meeting, which club sources insist was planned well in advance of the extraordinary call to place head of recruitment Iain Moody on gardening leave.

Lim is currently in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where he is meeting with owner Vincent Tan to discuss the situation, which has seen Alisher Apsalyamov, a 23-year-old friend of Tan’s son U-Jiun, put in charge of scouting and rumours that Mackay was asked to resign.

Rob Lee knows a few things about England. Spent some time with him today and he maintains representing his country was his proudest career moment. He scored on his debut against Romania in 1994.

Conversely his worst memory was being left out of the Euro 96 squad by Terry Venables, when he felt at the height of his career.

Believes young players get over-coached at times and should be able to enjoy the ball more. Also advocates ex-pros being around training. 'If young players watch older players that is a much better education,' he says. 'And they would give them little tips as they go round.'

The former Newcastle captain is now in charge of the London branch of Speedflex, a high intensity workout class that burns calories rapidly. Lee Bowyer was in for a 45 minute session and he came out looking very sweaty.

Chelsea defender David Luiz reckons Brazil's opponents this weekend are among the best in the world.

Luiz Felipe Scolari's men take on South Korea, who are ranked only 58th in the latest FIFA standings. But Luiz was full of praise for their opponents citing Cardiff City's Kim Bo-Kyung as an 'outstanding' player.

Centre of attention: David Luiz speaks to reporters ahead of Brazil's friendly against South Korea

Cristiano Ronaldo has written a letter to a Florida attorney begging them not to prosecute a fan who ran onto the pitch to hug him during Real Madrid's pre-season match with Chelsea in Miami.

The Portuguese superstar personally intervened to try and spare Ronald Gjoka, a 20-year-old Albanian-born Canadian, a jail sentence by writing that his future should not be ruined by 'an error of judgement'.

Once in a lifetime: Gjoka spent a night in jail after entering the field of play but got a hug from hero Ronaldo

Chris Wheeler: Mesut Ozil could still have become a Manchester United player hours before the transfer window closed on deadline day and the Real Madrid star made a £42.4million move to Arsenal.

The Ozil drama came at the end of a chaotic window for United and their new manager David Moyes in which the Premier League champions tried and failed with a scattergun approach to signing some of Europe’s top midfielders.

Sportsmail can reveal that Ozil’s father and advisor Mustafa is taking legal action against an agent over what he claims is a forged mandate offering the Germany international to United on August 7.

Top Gunner: Mesut Ozil has been a revelation for Arsenal but came close to being a Manchester United player

The Queens Park Rangers midfielder said he was not trying to disrespect the former Manchester United manager and instead point out why the English national team is 's***'.

Barton said: 'We rate managers but we don't rate coaches in this country. I don't mean to disrespect Sir Alex Ferguson - he was a great manager but he couldn't put on a coaching session to save his life.

Hitting out: Barton did not hold back at the Leaders in Football conference

In response to Lineker’s tweet about those selected to be in Greg Dyke’s gang, it has to be said that many more glamorous names have agreed to engage with the FA commission and offer their help - including Jose Mourinho - but don’t have the time to commit to a full-time role.

Matt Barlow reports: Arsenal supporters have written to Stan Kroenke to ask when he will fulfil a promise made more than two years ago to talk to meet them and discuss his plans for the club.

Kroenke completed his takeover in April 2011 and made a specific commitment to fans amid concerns that his ownership might damage the community traditions of the North London club.

Arsenal’s four biggest supporters’ groups are still waiting for their audience with the America billionaire and last month, the Black Scarf Movement, sent a letter on behalf of all groups in the hope of a meeting around the club’s AGM next week.

BSM spokesman David O’Leary said: “Mr Kroenke has recently stated that he spends 30 to 40 days a year on Arsenal business so we remain hopeful that he will find a small amount of time to meet this extremely important commitment, and ideally this will be at the time of Arsenal’s AGM when he will be in London.”

Kroenke could not choose a better time to face fans for the first time. Although many of their concerns about the direction of the club since they left Highbury for the Emirates Stadium in 2006 and the sanitised and corporate atmosphere of the new home still exist, at least the team are on top of the Barclays Premier League after seven games.

The £86million man - signed on September 1 - appeared just three times in the white of the Spanish giants before succumbing to injury.

Bale was this week forced to withdraw from the Wales squad ahead of their World Cup qualifiers citing a thigh problem, prompting national-team boss Chris Coleman to launch an attack on his Bernabeu employers.

Real deal: Zinedine Zidane says Gareth Bale is already back in training despite having withdrawn from the Wales squad because of a thigh injury

Tom Bellwood reports: Gary Lineker has launched a scathing attack on the Football Association and described as 'utterly pointless' some of chairman Greg Dyke's appointments to the commission charged with improving the national team.

Dyke has set England the target of winning the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and has set-up the commission to shape the domestic game to help the Three Lions to victory.

Not impressed: Lineker has launched an attack on the appointments made by FA chief Dyke to his commission

The absence of the Premier League needn't be too taxing over the coming days, as the international break still has a few surprises to throw up.

With some teams already qualified and others fighting for a World Cup spot, some managers are blooding in young stars in a bid to prepare them for the rigours of a major tournament - or as a last-ditch gamble to book their ticket to Brazil.

Here are Sportsmail's top 10 picks of the youthful international talents on show as the World Cup qualifying stage draws to a close.

Simon Jones reports: England's big-match players can inspire their own team-mates to clinch World Cup qualification.

That’s the firm belief of former England striker and World Cup hero Paul Mariner as England face their double header deciders against Montenegro and Poland.

Mariner was the hero 32 years ago in 1981 when his goal proved decisive in the qualifier against Hungary. The 1-0 win signalled a return to the World Cup finals for England after a 12 year absence following qualifying failures in 1973 and 1977.

Match-winner: Steven Gerrard can inspire England, according to Paul Mariner

Graham Poll: Howard Webb steps out in Zagreb to referee the Croatia v Belgium qualifier still uncertain whether he will be going to Brazil next year.

Unlike the England players who know that two wins will guarantee qualification, Webb will have to wait until all play-offs are finished and the squad of referees are announced to see if he will be making history.

There has never been a World Cup final referee who has returned to referee in the following tournament and some will wonder what Webb’s motivation to go to another tournament that he cannot referee the final of is.

Will he make the cut? Howard Webb won't find out if he's in the referee's squad for the World Cup until after the play-off round in November

The last time England failed to qualify for the World Cup finals was 20 years ago this weekend. Graham Taylor's disastrous campaign was - amazingly - recorded by a Channel 4 documentary crew. That film featured an extraordinary press conference confrontation between England boss Taylor and MailOnline Sport columnist

ROB SHEPHERD, who then worked for the now defunct Today newspaper. As England look to avoid another failed campaign against Montenegro and then Poland, Shepherd recalls that infamous exchange and doomed campaign of 1992/3...

Adam Crafton reports: There will be much relief among the England management team to have Wayne Rooney back from injury and in fine fettle ahead of the decisive World Cup qualifiers against Montenegro and Poland.

There was one statistical oddity about the painful draw with Ukraine: for the first time in Roy Hodgson's reign as England manager, not a single Manchester United player was selected in his starting line-up.

Relief: Wayne Rooney is ready to make his comeback against Montenegro on Friday night

England players will take a morning stroll in the grounds of the Grove Hotel in Hertfordshire today before Roy Hodgson calls a meeting to tell them the team. The big call is in the centre of midfield where Michael Carrick, Frank Lampard and Jack Wilshere are locked in a three-way fight for a starting berth alongside skipper Steven Gerrard.

John Edwards: Liverpool have emerged as Manchester United's biggest rivals for Will Hughes after Brendan Rodgers installed the teenage prospect as his top target for the January transfer window.

Already linked with Hughes, along with several other Barclays Premier League clubs, Liverpool are now ready to grasp the initiative, with Rodgers poised to ask for the necessary funding to land Derby's England Under 21 midfielder when the market opens again.

Derby manager Steve McClaren effectively sounded the starting gun for a scramble to sign Hughes in the New Year by admitting the Championship club could not hope to hold on to him much longer.

Top target: Liverpool and Manchester United want Derby's Will Hughes in the January window

Martin Samuel and Neil Ashton report: Roy Hodgson is facing the biggest selection decision of his England career as he agonises over whether to drop Jack Wilshere for Friday night’s crucial World Cup clash with Montenegro.
